-=PCTechTalk=- Re: Avira

Hi Stefan,
These two files are part of your DirectX Graphics Driver set.  There should 
be no reason for Malwarebytes to stop scanning when it reaches these files, 
so maybe they have been somewhat corrupted.  Then again, it could be a 
malware providing you with a false positive.

The first thing I would do is manually update Malawarebytes and then reboot 
into Safe Mode and run a Full scan from there.  The DirectX files should not 
be in use in Safe Mode.  This is also a good method to use to help unconver 
certain kinds of malware that hide themselves when running in normal mode.

If the scan is able to complete in Safe Mode, it may find and repair 
whatever appears to be plaguing your system.

I will wait to hear of your results before recommending any further steps 
you can take before taking it to a malware expert.

Peace,
Gman
